Jan. 25: Hot and hearty? Yes, please!

Many, many moons ago I remember watching Talk Soup when it was a brand new show, where I first became familiar with Greg Kinnear. I think it was on a visit to Kathy’s; I was flipping channels and she said, “Oh, you gotta watch this guy. He’s really funny!” She was right—I loved him. Kath and me like them funny ones.

I was super-bummed when Greg Kinnear left the show, but I ended up liking John Henson a lot, too. What a cutie. I was way happy when he popped up on My Name is Earl a few times last season, but otherwise I don’t see him much these days. Apparently he hosts a game show now.

And then came Hal Sparks. IMO, he’s the the most adorable one yet. I follow him on Twitter because he’s frequently amusing. He even occasionally contributes to the fabulousness that is The Huffington Post.

E! changed Talk Soup around a little; it’s now called The Soup and Joel McHale hosts. Just like the others before him, he was new to me when he started on the show—though in this case, I should’ve recognized him from Almost Live!, Seattle’s version of Saturday Night Live. Heh, oops. Anyway, it didn’t take me long to fall myself in love with Joel because of his fine hosting work on The Soup—though admittedly, I don’t watch it often lately. And now he’s also on Community, which I think is hilarious, and you’d think that’d be Joel McHale overkill but you’d think wrong.

And the whole reason for this post, besides an excuse to reflect back on the charm of these very funny men, is to share this interview with Joel McHale, posted recently at Advocate.com. It made me LOL.
